Why should you go there and how do you do it right?

Come for sunset and enjoy happy hour. That's the motto here. The rooftop terrace is located above the U Jomtien Hotel and offers breathtaking views across the entire Jomtien Beach. What consistently delights guests isn't so much the drinks menu, but rather the tranquility. If you've ever visited rooftop bars in Bangkok and felt like you've just waited in line for a photo, this is the complete opposite. Generous table spacing and plenty of room to relax undisturbed for three hours.

Cocktails are the best choice here, and there are also non-alcoholic options. The food is surprisingly well-received for a hotel bar, and regulars say the prices are comparable to street food. The two-hour happy hour is the perfect opportunity to plan your afternoon. Arrive around 4 p.m. to enjoy it and the golden light over the water.

It's an open rooftop terrace in Chonburi. If you arrive at 1 p.m., you'll need to cook for yourself. The best time to go is from late afternoon onwards.
